The Force Quit-Not Responding Issue has not been resolved yet?

I too keep having Force Quit issues in many apps - Final Cut, Photoshop, Mail, etc. If I do not use these apps for a while then go to them, they hang. Force quit does not work - as the app cannot be restarted after force quitting. The only solution is to reboot - you cannot even restart as nothing will force quit the apps. This has now become annoying as I am rebooting at least once or twice per day.
This occurred only recently - after the 10.5.4 update.
Checking the boards, this is a problem for many many users and still not resolved in most cases. Anyone have more information on this issue?

Hello Jon:
As far as I can tell, there is not a general problem. That is not to say you are not having problems.
If you have not done so, try these things (in sequence, if one fixes it, stop):
Run permission repair.
Run repair disk from your software install DVD.
Download the combo 10.5.4 updater and apply it (even if you did that before).

Since you mention "commercial DVDs" I asume they use some kind of copy-protection.

Mavericks scanning issue - has it been fixed yet???

Hello - I'm reading all of these posts and most of them are from Oct/Nov when Mavericks first came out. Well, I just installed Mavericks and I am using Officejet 6500 E709n and the printer works, but not the scanner! I worked with an Apple Genius yesterday and today and they both told me this is HP's job to fix the issue with scanning and Mavericks. I can't seem to find a fix anywhere on HP's support site - am I missing something or are they really just leaving us hanging?
Please help.
Thank you!

Hi!
Have you try to perform reset printing system on you mac? Or my try to perform repair disk permission.

Mail Won't Force Quit - Not Responding

I am running Tiger 10.4.8 on a 17" G4 Powerbook. Mail is not responding and will not quit. When I attempt to force quit, the Mail app disappears from the Force Quit view but does not actually quit {command-tab shows the Mail icon in it and then the Mail app again shows up in the Force Quit view with Not Responding next to it}. I forced a shutdown, waited a while, restarted and then ran Disk Utility to fix permissions. Attempting to run the Mail app again provides the same results. Any thoughts on what's causing this issue? Thanks in advance. Marc

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Finally, try launching Mail under the following conditions (you’ll have to somehow force quit it first if it’s running) and post back with your observations:
1. Holding the Shift key down until the main window appears.
2. With no Internet connection.

Why does my macbook pro keep showing me the force quit screen and states that there is not enough memory? The activity monitor shows that there is plenty of memory available.

The message displayed in the Force Quit Applications window says "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory. The only applications that I have open are Safari and Finder and I am simply reading a discussion board.

It would appear that this error can be caused by an excessive system demand for swap space that exceeds the maximum allocation. Just try restarting the computer.
I found a possible solution for finding the cause of the error. Open Activity Monitor. Be sure you have the Real Memory column showing and the Processes dropdown menu set to All Processes. Select the Real Mem column and sort in descending order. Leave Activity Monitor open. The next time the error appears the application at the top of the column is the one causing the error.

Force Quit not working

Some times when an application stops responding force quitting it doesn't work - the windows of that application disappear, but it still appears in the dock with the arrow of a running app under it, and next time I open the force quit window it appears again in the list.
Also tried killing the process in activity monitor and from the terminal, to no avail.
Furthermore a restart doesn't work: it hangs as it tries to shut down and the only course of action is to do a 'hard shut down', holding the power button in until it turns off.
Most often happens with iTunes, but also has happened to DVD Player, Mail, EyeTV and possibly more.
iTunes does it fairly regularly, others have only done it once or twice. Get the spinning beach ball, often when resuming play after a period of inactivity, and the program remains unresponsive. Has been happening for a while now, despite a couple of updates to iTunes.
Anyone got an idea what's wrong and/or how to fix it? It's most un-Mac like...

This behavior is typically indicative of system corruption. I would consider doing the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

FOrce Quit not forcing quit

The optioncommandESC force quit command isn't bringing up the force quit menu. I have to right click the dock icon in order to force quit an application. Now, a few months back, my SHIFT key on the left side stopped working, and it eventually popped off (me trying to figure out what was wrong). I thought maybe the OPTION key or the COMMAND key were inoperable as well, but that's not so because I can do this : œåΩ√ˆ∆, etc and the COMMAND key works for other functions that need it.
Any ideas?

Well does the force quit window come up from using the apple menu force quit option?
I am asking to make sure the issue isn't the you can't get to the force quit menu al all.

Force Quit not working in 10.4.4

Since upgrading to 10.4.4 last week I have had problems with applications hanging (a few times a day). When this happens force quit never works. I can still go to other applications and save and quit, but I have to use the reset button to get out of the hung application. This problem just started with 10.4.4, and the frequency of applications hanging has increased dramatically.
Unfortunately, I did not back up 10.4.3, and I do not know how to get back to it.
suggestions?

More than likely after all the forced quits you have done and the forced shutdowns and restarts you have a damaged disk directory. I would start by booting of your 10.4 CD and running disk Utility and see what it finds. IN fact you may want to do all three of the steps listed here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/repairprocess.html
Have you checked to make sure that you are running the latest compatible version of the applications in question?
Force quit sometimes can take a while to work. I have waited for apps for as long as 3-4 minutes before they finally quit. That is a rare event but it has happened. Microsoft Word and Safari are by far the slowest apps to force quit in my experience.
You really should not, but on rare occasions, ever have to force quit an application. IF you are doing it as often as you are chances are that something else is going on to cause it.

The required index has not been created yet in the search engine

Hi,
I am trying to change the inspection plan trying to add master insp.characterstics in QP02 the system is giving the following error: "The required index has not been created yet in the search engine". As per the solution for that error The administration transaction is SES_ADMIN.
Through the Goto menu, you can enter the relevant customizing directly.
The index was required for: Business object = QPMK
Object type = 1
It is already there. I don't know why still it is showing the error.
How can i fix this?
Pl help me. Thanks.
Madhu

Hi,
Not so sure this applies as
1] The field is using a custom search help which correctly appears for data selection in each case. Its only when we push the go button that the index missing error ishappening for the particular user.
2] We cloned the user id for the user having the issue and the clone has no problem at all using the search help.
Weird huh?

Hey there Luba_kalstad,
It sounds like you are unable to join your network and cannot see it in the Wi-Fi list in Settings. I would try the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
And this section down toward the bottom if needed:
Unable to locate a Wi-Fi network
Verify that the network is available by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi and choosing from the available networks.Note: It may take a few seconds for the Wi-Fi network name to appear.
Move closer to your wireless router (access point) and attempt to locate the Wi-Fi network.
If you do not see the network you would like to join, you may be attempting to connect to a hidden network. Learn how to join a hidden network.
Supported Wi-Fi configurations vary by iOS device model. Find out which standards your device supports3.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be? I sent it via FedEx.

I sent in my iPod nano to the replacement program about two weeks back. However, I checked the status of the repair and it still says it has not been received yet. However, my boyfriend sent in his the same time I did and his repair status says repair being diagnosed. I still have the "receipt" of the package when they first sent it to me. I sent it via FedEx. Is there any way to follow up on where the nano could be or maybe find out if I can still get a replacement even though my nano might be lost in transit?

I sent it via FedEx.
Call FedEx. They will be able to track their own packages. They will let you know if your iPod Nano was delivered and to who!
